A few days ago, Thierry Henry dropped a little punchline on the level of Ligue 1 which did not go unnoticed. “There were 12 goals (in 8 games) this weekend and 13 the weekend before (in 9 games). But it’s not necessarily the goals that are the problem, it’s that yesterday (during Lens-OM), there were no shots on target. In fact, there were no actions, no shots on target. Is this specific to these two weekends? I don’t know. Now, I notice that Nice is second having scored 13 goals (9th attack in the championship). Does this surprise you? It’s there, it’s in front of you.” Since then, several coaches have reacted, notably Luis Enrique.
At a press conference, the PSG coach insisted on defending the level of Ligue 1. “The boring French League? No, not at all for me. On the contrary I see very open matches, it’s a much better League than I thought, sometimes you repeat opinions without checking. It is neither easy nor boring with very good players leaving for the Premier League, for example.”
